-==== Mount the shares ====
+===== Extende fstab to assign full permissions to newly created files and directories =====
+Add these lines to /etc/smb.conf on the server:
+<file bash /etc/smb.conf>
+...
+create mask = 0666
+force create mode = 0666
+directory mask = 0777
+force directory mode = 0777
+...
+</file>
+This gives 0777 permission to every samba users in the write list for new created directory or files.

+===== Hide Credentials =====
+Setup a credentials file so you don't need to enter your password in the command; causing it to be stored in your command history in plain-text) or at the prompt (a nuisance).
